Carry Weapon #1

Carry Weapon #2

I am a smaller woman, not tiny. I know a lot about handguns and rifles, but not much experience with shotguns. I have competed with Handgun and rifle, not shotgun, until now. I am going to try 3 gun. It is informal and I was told I can use my side by side coach gun. It’s new, needs some slicking up. I bought it to try with Cowboy Action. I really don’t want to purchase another shotgun for 3 gun when I am not sure if I am going to like it or not.
The stock is a little long on my shotgun, and the recoil pad is quite deep. I am wondering if anyone knows of a good, thin pad, maybe gel that I can replace the original pad with so it is not such a stretch for my fingers to reach the double triggers. I just bought a 3 gun vest that has built in recoil pads. Ideas? Experiences?

$399 and free shipping is as cheap as I can recall in a LONG time.

I just installed a Larue trigger on my truck gun, and it's GREAT. I bought it because they are selling for $87 right now. So, I thought, why not? Coming from a guy that owns 5 Geissele triggers, I probably won't buy any more Geisseles until the price of the Larue goes back up. Somebody asked Mark Larue why they were selling them so cheap. His response was that he wanted to get 50,000 of them in the field by Christmas. When it hit the market, it was $250.
So, if you have ever wanted a Geissele, but just couldn't bring yourself to drop that much cash, buy these with confidence. There are reviews out there comparing the Larue to the Geissele SSA and SSA-E. Everybody says the Larue falls between the SSA and SSA-E. I agree.
Anyway... helluva deal!

I'm looking to buy a 20ga. O/U. I'm liking the Beretta 687 Silver Pigeons, but have also noticed the 693 Field.
What are the differences between the 687 & 693?
I also really liked the Fausti Class, but am leaning towards Beretta for notoriety and resale. Thoughts?

I want to buy a few stripped lowers. I remember when regal/royal range was selling them for 39.99$. I should have bought more. Nothing high end or super nice. Nashville Armory has the Anderson ones for 69.99$ I think. Anyone seen them cheaper in a store? PSA? What is a reasonable FFL for the transfers if I order them.
Thanks.

Pretty Freaking Cool....seems like a great price too!

The deal is almost back (was 399 at one time...still with free shipping this is a killer buy)

Just saw this today. So a standard 5.56 lower could be used for 9mm with no magwell block.

Interesting. Anyone used one?

I’m thinking about adding a pump shotgun. I already have an 1100 Competition Synthetic so I don’t think I’d be interested in autos (but not 100% sure).
I do not hunt. This will be a range toy with possible use as a Home Defense shotgun.
Does anyone make anything in High Gloss blue/Walnut in the <$600 range other than the Remington 870 WingMaster?
I’d like an 870 WingMaster with a 20” Fully rifled barrel with Rifle Sights. But I don’t guess they make that anymore.
I’m not interested in anything synthetic.
Just kicking around ideas right now.

So I’ve become very interested in the new Springfield Saint Edge AR pistol that’s recently been brought to market. It checks all the boxes I am looking for in my next AR based gun and after looking into building one of my own, I can’t build one out of quality kit for less than the Saint Edge’s Street price.

While technically a pistol, the reason I’m posting here is that I’d like input from owners or folks that have shot other offerings in the Saint lineup.
How would y’all grade their levels of quality and reliability?
Have you shot it suppressed, and what are your experiences there?
Has anyone run one in a high round count class?
I’ve handled them and they seem pretty good, but they are still an unknown quantity to me.

Now that's just funny right there...like the Trump Hairpiece cameo..

Hey gang
Am mounting a 30mm 1-6 /24 scope, into a warne single piece lower mount, w 4 fasteners in each of 2 yokes.Mfg of scope doesn't list any torque values (Sig) Using a wheeler torque wrench, am at 20 in lbs, could go tighter, but figured i would post here to see what y'all think.This isnt mounted on a chuck norris baseball bat/chinese fighting shovel style rifle, but its not a safe queen either, just want to find a good torque value and reason behind it besides it just works, Thanks in advance!

I joined the local NRL22 matches here in Middle TN this year. Since the SE Regional match is going to be held locally, of course I’ll attend even though I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning. I have been lucky enough to win a couple of prizes at the national level including an Area 419 rail for a CZ 455 or 457 in the random draw for February. While there is going to be a prize table for winners, NRL22 has been very good to me and I thought I’d give back something locally by putting up a better item for a random draw than might otherwise be available so that everyone competing has a chance at winning a nice prize.
So I’m donating a Limited Edition (from 2017) Savage A22 FV FDX XP rifle. This is a new in the box rifle that has only been pulled out to take the accompanying pictures. The difference of this model from the standard Savage A22 is that it has a FDE stock, 16.5″ threaded barrel, comes with a Butler Creek 25-round mag (in addition to the regular 10-round rotary mag), and is topped off with a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot sight. I have another one of these (scoped) and it’s pretty accurate for an out of the box 22LR.
Please note that I'm personally providing this rifle without compensation from the league, I'm not attempting to advertise my business, nor am I associated with NRL22 or the local chapter other than just being a member and enjoying the sport. It's my way of giving back to the local club by encouraging others to show up for the match.
To win the rifle:
1) You must register for the 2019 NRL22 SE Regionals. Note - you do NOT have to be a NRL22 member to sign up for the regionals and participate.
2) Show up and shoot the 12 stages.
3) Be there in person for the prize drawing after the match.
4) And put up with having your photo taken with your new Savage A22 FV FDX XP rifle. Big grin is optional.
More details on the match:
The NRL.22 South East Regional Championship will be a 1-day precision rimfire event consisting of 12 stages and requiring a minimum of 120 rounds to complete. Target engagements may range from 25 to 370 yards.
The NRL22 South East Regional is a stand alone event. The match will be ran under the 2018-2019 NRL22 rule set. However the match does not count toward season points or placement in the National Championship. Shooters should expect a fun and challenging match.
The NRL22 South East Regional is open to all shooters. It is not required to be a NRL22 member to enter or draw from the prize table. The match is open to all shooters from all locations.
The match fee includes a match t-shirt, lunch, and 12 challenging stages.
For any questions, feel free to call the match director Mike Millikan at 931-306-1090

I’ve been really liking the looks of this “truckgun.”
However, I have never fired a shotgun before even full length. Do you think the 12ga is a bit much in this configuration or should I go with the .20ga? Is the 20gauge still devastating in self defense?
Would there be anyone near Chattanooga who might have one and let me shoot it?
Thanks for the advice!

I'm strongly considering adding a .30'06 bolt action deer rifle and am looking at the CDL.
Just wondering how Remington's current M700 CDL are doing out of the box.
My oldest deer rifle is a M700 BDL stainless that's been rock solid.
Would appreciate owner experiences with these CDL's.
Update: useful resource I found on google:
